Pigs Fly! Duke Nukem Forever To Ship in 2022 - reidsuffed

To paraphrase Mark Twain, there are lies, damned lies, and Duke Nukem Forever stories. The back's been vaporware for concluded a 10. Leaked screens and gameplay videos from supposed exploratory versions occasionally emerge then fade in a muddle of half-sunbaked theories, assembly mockery, and lover dismay. When the back's now defunct publishing house 3D Realms talk about the game these days, few mind.

Until today, that is.

Yesterday 3D Realms president George Broussard teased gamers with a picture of pigs waving. (In a 2006 1UP consultation, Broussard joked the game would be out when pigs flew.) Today, helium's explaining what that means. Or at least the game's new developer is.

At PAX Prime 2022, Gearbox (Brothers in Arms, Borderlands) president Ruttish Pitchford confirmed rumors that his studio has assumed responsibility for the much mothballed gunman. What's more, he announced IT'll glucinium playable–that's right, playable–on the show story.

"People seem to be enjoying the game very much," reads a slay from 2K Games' Twitter feed. "How many [PAX] folk thought they'd leave Seattle having played [Duke Nukem Forever]?"

The game, due in 2022, will be available at the same time for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Microsoft Windows.

"Duke Nukem, the interactive entertainment industry's near disrespectful and quoted character of each time, will bring his signature brand of babe-lovin', cigar-smoking, beer-chugging and fundament-kicking action as he over again saves the Solid ground and our babes from hordes of incursive aliens," wrote 2K Games in a press statement. "In past shocking news, Duke Nukem Forever will be playable right now for all attendees 17 and older of this twelvemonth's Penny Arcade Exhibition at the 2K Booth…gift the first hands-on experience with the game that was originally announced during the tail end of the Clinton Administration."

"All great things take time… a lot of time," aforementioned 2K president Christoph Hartmann. "After a abatement from the computer game world, Duke Nukem is back and punter than ever. The counte of the Business leader from the glory days of shooters will satisfy our patient, rock-ribbed fans, as well as a unused generation of gurgle gum-chew, flatbed top and dark glasses-wearing bad-asses."

"Make up no mistake about it–Duke Nukem Forever is a testament to the era of when shooters were bodacious and fun."

It's been so long I don't remember how the last ace ended, but I do remember the multiplayer matches with freeze-rays, shrivel-guns, and the helpless terror of a gigantic boot filling my CRT. In DNF, it sounds like the alien pig cops and large bosses are back, along with hatful of profanity and organic structure ogling.

"This game puts pedal to the tinny and tongue firmly in cheek, among other places," reads 2K's description. "Scoot basketball game, lift weights, read adult magazines, draw crude messages connected whiteboards operating theatre ogle one of the many beautiful women that people Duke's life; that is if you can pull yourself off long enough from kicking ass and taking name calling."

If anyone can pull IT off, well–Gear case isn't faultless when it comes to game design, but they'ray light years ahead of 3D Realms. Praise to George Broussard and company for finally stepping aside.
